I dont know, it put a 3'' crack in 1 cylinder. everyone says i can sleave it. might try it to have as a back up. the crank has 2 small nicks. the crack is the only damage to the block. I was just glad it didnt hurt a head. good thing for boost, the cylinder pressure kept the pistion at the bottom. It was a sad day around the shop today. it happed about 11.30 today.

I want to give all you guys a hug, while you wear your helmets.

You are all passionate about your cars, and that is what drives the class to be the best to watch. IMO if it wasn't for you guys bickering and complaining back and forth then it wouldnt make as fun to watch. I am friends with most of you. Hopefully I can get a few things and run a few seconds behind you guys.
